The brand of theology I grew up in was pretty brutal. Why did God make hell, and people who were gonna go to hell? We believed in predestination, so He *knew* he was making ppl who He was actively sending to hell. Why?

yea we challenged the "then God is not good" conclusion; we'd say "God's not good *by your definition of good*, but you're a sinful human and God's the transcendent origin of morality, so who do you think is wrong here?"

Honestly just looking up a list of biblical contradictions should be enough to show the idiocy of the whole thing. The supposedly all knowing all powerful perfect and just “god” directly contradicts himself and his rules dozens of times in his own book 🤣

God's nature is presented in the bible, which also says you're fallible and have sin nature

It’s one big question begging exercise, along the lines of “god is perfect, therefore it’s in his nature to exist.” It’s fallacious b/c it assumes what needs to be proved.

Id recommend this podcast podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the. Different specific topics/denominations and real world impact of theology
I've gotta say, I actually kind of like this as a descriptor for god. If he does exist, he's sort of an unknowable Lovecraftian entity whose moral and other reasoning is so alien to our own as to to be inaccessible to us.

Well, God doesn't necessarily care about those things, and that's what humans view as bad.
